Samurai Pizza Cats: Official Fan Book Scheduled for Release in March

UDON Entertainment will soon deliver the Official Fan Book from the popular '90s cartoon.

Who do you call when you want some cheese and pepperoni in your life? The Samurai Pizza Cats, of course! In the early ’90s, a trio of mechanoid feline fighters became the favorite heroes of many afternoon anime aficionados. Samurai Pizza Cats: Official Fan Book is the ultimate celebration of the original Tatsunoko Productions version of the show, Kyatto Ninden Teyandee.

When Saban licensed the English version of Kyatto Ninden Teyandee, the translations and information regarding the original Japanese episodes were either of bad quality or just didn’t existent. The company decided to completely rewrite the dialogue for the English dub, giving the show a wacky, Looney-Toons-lite comedy tone, in contrast to the wee bit less crazy one. Samurai Pizza Cats became a cult hit among anime fans due to its rapid-fire pop-culture references and farcical nature. The series has been available for streaming to Amazon Prime subscribers since late 2018.

Samurai Pizza Cats: Official Fan Book is fully loaded with the best toppings: pinup artwork, character designs, profiles, episode summaries, rough concepts, and several exclusive, in-depth interviews with the show’s creators and the original cast. It is a must-have for anime and Saturday morning cartoon fans! Samurai Pizza Cats: Official Fan Book is scheduled for release on March 19, 2019.
